Beating strong international competition, the London International Wine Fair united the judges in their final decision. They described the event as: "An intelligent show implemented with smart marketing, joined-up thinking and a great team who pulled everything together by being ahead of the curve". James Murray, event director, said: "We're absolutely thrilled with the award. As a relatively small but passionate team working for a private company we're able to immerse ourselves totally in the wine and spirits industry and to be recognised as leaders in our field is a great achievement."
